This event has ended.

Driven by the desire for adventure and discovery, Cobi Moules latest series of paintings document his journey across America not only to explore the country’s natural beauty and diversity, but also to reflect upon his position within it.

Moules deftly manipulates the visual trope of traditional landscape painting as a way of seeking inclusion, creating a utopian space for his personal significance and queer identity. He embraces the beauty of nature while shifting its weight through the exaltation of his own existence within it. The importance becomes the experiences of his multiples and their overall existence in the landscape - each engaging in different activities, exploring their [his] presence within nature, and ultimately becoming whole.
